@zachary_abroad: One thing I still can’t get over about Portugal… 🇵🇹🍺 Before we moved here, I never would’ve expected to see beer as a normal combo drink at fast food restaurants. Now? It barely even surprises @marinafaeri and I. It’s funny how quickly things that once felt so different become completely ordinary. Living in another country slowly rewires what feels “normal.” One day you’re doing double takes over the smallest things, and before you know it, they’re just part of everyday life. For me, it’s ordering a burger and seeing beer on the combo menu. What’s something that’s completely normal where you live that visitors always find surprising? 👇 Tell me where you’re from—I love hearing these. #portugal #eurosummer #cultureshock
Almost no one knows this, but the first McDonald's to sell beer was in Portugal; it was one of the requirements for franchises.

From what I know, In the US you need to have a different/special license for alcoholic beverages and it’s not cheap, while in Portugal there is no such thing. As far as I know, if it’s a restaurant, cafe, snack bar, etc, it’s enough to allow alcoholic beverages.

Colombo has so many good options that I rarely opt for fast food. ☺️The Chinese over there is very good. Usually I go for Sushi, a salad in Vitaminas, Chinese... For Portuguese try H3

In France I saw to dames having lunch with their Big Mac and a beer; somehow they made it so sophisticated. Like how do the French make beer and Big Macs elevated but they managed it.
